VocaBura: A Method for Supporting Second Language Vocabulary Learning While Walking
summary
VocaBura is a smartphone method that plays GPS-triggered L1-L2 audio as users pass buildings so learners pick up vocabulary without looking at the screen. A controlled study with 17 beginner English learners and 10 target words uses a campus walking route; immediate recall matches audio-only but one-week tests show significantly better retention with VocaBura. A coverage analysis finds a 100-location route can hit up to half of beginner SVL words.
